In Darkness

A blind seven tailed fox being looked after by her niece. A royal family (and their kingdom) wrongfully accused and exposed to the worst torments the Nine Heavens could conjure. A grieving brother mourning the loss of his twin.

Bai Qian had always gotten by on surviving. She made a marriage alliance with the Ghost Realm for her family to survive. She cut off two of her tails for her family to survive. She left her only son in the Nine Heavens for her family to survive. She lost her eyes in a mortal trial to survive and ascend to the world's only (living) High Goddess.

If you asked any of her family members, however, they'd tell you that she died the night their people were massacred.

Upon hearing the death of her son's father, Bai Qian finally pulls herself out of a painful cycle of torment and release for one thing and one thing only; justice. Determined to retrieve her eyes and her son, the previous Heavenly Emperor's only heir, Bai Qian allows her fiancee, Li Jing, to parade her along the streets of the city that haunted her most.

When a certain newly enthroned Emperor and God of War intrudes on her search and her engagement to the second Ghost Prince, Bai Qian quickly finds herself forced to remain in the Nine Heaven's as Qing Cang's informant. With her world tipped on its head, she struggles to navigate the Nine Heavens while keeping her distance from her own husband, a man who doesn't know his wife's own name. Attempting to kill him on their wedding night, Bai Qian is thrown through a loop when he saves her life instead. When she starts to fall for the Golden Dragon of the Nine Heavens, her alliance with the Ghost Realm and her relationship with her own people are tested in ways she never anticipated. After all, how could Qing Qiu's beloved High Queen fall for a man ruling over one of the cruelest realms in existence?
